Painting by Numbers (red), 2001
Mixed media - framed in acrylic box
50 1/4 x 36 3/4 x 12 in 127.6 x 93.3 x 30.5 cm
Damien Hirst's Painting by Numbers (red) from 2001 exemplifies the artist's exploration of mechanical creativity and chance. This mixed media work features an arrangement of colorful paint-by-numbers canvases assembled within a sleek acrylic box frame. The dominant red tones create a cohesive visual field, while the grid-like structure reveals Hirst's characteristic interest in systems, repetition, and the democratization of artistic production. The deep encasement adds sculptural dimensionality to what begins as a traditionally flat medium. This work represents a significant period in Hirst's practice when he challenged notions of authorship and artistic skill. As part of his widely exhibited series, pieces like this have been featured in major international collections and continue to attract sophisticated collectors interested in conceptual art from the YBA movement. The substantial scale and museum-quality presentation make this a commanding presence for both private and institutional settings. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
